Zaineb $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! By day, I work in tech, but I’ve never stopped missing spending time with kids. In college, I babysat, tutored, and coached a girls’ soccer team, and I also spent a summer as a camp counselor. I’m still in touch with some of those families today, which means so much to me. I love getting to know each kid’s personality, cheering them on, and being a good mentor — and a little bit of an older sister, too. I’m happy to help with homework, explore the city, do crafts, play games, or wind down with a calm bedtime routine. I’d love to get to know your family and hopefully become someone your kids look forward to spending time with!
